Good morning HES families!! Our cookie dough fundraiser has officially begun. Please note that there were a few mistakes on the parent letter that was sent home in your child's packet. 1. We are a cash only school! That means, no checks please! 2. All orders are prepaid only, and all money needs to be turned in by next Friday, January 23rd.


Bus 25 will not be running its PM route today, Wednesday, Feb. 7th. Students who ride this bus will need to be car riders today.

February Calendar


Please mark your calendars.


Attached is a list of roads that were unable to be traveled today.



Parents, thank you for your patience as we have returned to school. I know this has been frustrating to some, especially when transportation has not been available for all students. As a reminder, if your child cannot access transportation, please call the school and exercise your parent “bus note.” We provide up to six of these per year and in addition to these, we will work with you if your child’s absence is due to transportation. If you have questions, please call your school. Again, thanks for your patience. Matt Hixson

Hawkins County Schools will be on a regular schedule tomorrow. Please access the updated bus route link at: HCK12.net/buses. Again, if your access roads are not safe for travel, please be in communication with your student’s school site.

Ms. Efird's tutoring classes will resume today. Her classes will also meet tomorrow and Friday this week.
Next week, Ms. Efird's tutoring classes will be held on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
If you have any questions regarding these tutoring sessions, please reach out to her.

Parents, we understand that those of you who reside on streets and roadways that have yet to be cleared of snow and ice may not be able to get your children to school today or even over the next few days. However, we have an obligation to open schools when a majority of our students can safely get to and from our schools. We are at this point. Please work with your school to keep them informed of your situation. I have advised all schools to work with parents and students in these situations.
This goes without saying, but if it is unsafe for a bus to travel down your road, please do not send your students of driving age down the same roads. If unsafe to go to school, please do not attempt the trip. Once the roads are safe, we will resume as many bus routes as possible, as quickly as possible.

Reminder: The following buses will not be running today.
Also, bus 15 will not be running its PM route today.
Everyone be safe!


Bus 15 will not be running its PM bus route tomorrow, Wednesday, Jan. 24th.

Hawkins County will be closed tomorrow, Tuesday, January 23.
